Secret Santa in School

Secret Santa is about as sexy as it sounds...!
It is a western tradition in which everyone buys gifts secretly and gives it anonymously and then the name of the gift giver is revealed on the last day.
In the last school meeting, we too decided about this. The names were written down and everyone picked up their chit. It has been decided that the gift need not be over 5 Euros and can be wrapped in news paper to avoid identity detection. Ad, a Spanish teacher who always openly displays her preference for males said she wanted her gifts to be wrapped in Men's Health pages while I protested that gifts wrapped in newspaper is nothing short of gift murder so finally every body agreed to wrap gifts in wrapping paper.

So this is the third week of Secret Santa. I give gifts to Mym and I guess that Mzi is giving me gifts. I take great care in choosing my gifts and prefer them to be beautiful and useful so as to earn appreciation from the receiver but its a pity the others rarely think so far. I have really chosen beautiful gifts for Mym but the ones I have received are trash. The first one I received was an ugly looking and abominably fat coffee mug and I even know it costs only 1 Euro because she forgot to scratch the price tag.

Our Secret Santa game will end on 10th of this month in a restaurant where we have a staff party. It has been planned that the last gifts will be given on that day and identity disclosed.
Sounds like great fun.....!
